Midleton Very Rare Dair Ghaleach Kylebeg Wood (Tree 1), 55.6%

Price: 340 Issue: Spring 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Irish Single Pot Still


An attractive nose of vanilla, fresh oak, butterscotch, lemon balm, bread crust, caramel, coconut, and dried banana places this example in the middle ground. Smooth on the taste buds with a continuity of flavors from sniff to swallow, there is honey, butterscotch, orange peel, soft oak, peppery spice, and stone fruits; it brings in vanilla and caramel and ends with notes of oak, spice, and dried fruit.
